"Sir, it is a Moor Park, we bought it as a Moor Park, and it cost us that is, it was a present from Sir Thomas, but I saw the bill and I know it cost seven shillings, and was charged as a Moor Park." "You were imposed on, ma'am," replied Dr. Grant: "these potatoes have as much the flavour of a Moor Park apricot as the fruit from that tree.
He can always find excuses for failing to spot in logging-trucks for Cardigan's logs. Bill Henderson never played the game that way. He gave me what I wanted and never held me to the minimum haulage when I was prepared to give him the maximum." "What does Colonel Pennington want, pard?"
"If Mr Collinson wishes it, I am ready enough to go," answered Bill. "I am afraid he would say no, if we were to ask him," said Jack. "I would give anything to find out who is winning the day." However, the nearest hills were some way off, and, even if they had got to the top of them, they could not at all tell that they would be able to see what was taking place.

"Ay, ay; but there's a lass between 'em now what do you make o' that?" "As far as I can think it out, it's against Craven."
Van tried to smile. "Slightly punctured." He was rapidly losing strength. Christler thought to divert him. He shouted above the purring of the car. "Found Matt all right.
